A mesmerising album of Yokota’s earliest sonic explorations that demonstrates his unique vision and sublime transcendence of boundaries.

»Image 1983-1998« is a collection of short miniatures, composed in two different time periods. Tracks 1-5 were recorded with guitar and organ between 1983-85 and tracks 6–12 were composed through 1997–98, being inspired by the earlier material.

A musical scrapbook, or sonic design board. The sleeve notes give an insight into Yokota’s belief in a close connection between music, memory and his active imagination: »Encountering Acid House made me visualise music – I could clearly see the sounds sparkling… this experience led me to create electronic music.«
